Randy Pausch
When computer science professor Randy Pausch was given a cancer 
diagnosis and told he only had “three to six months of good health 
left,” he prepared a now-famous lecture entitled “The Last Lecture: 
Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.”
*
As the saying goes, sometimes people are like tea bags - you don’t know how strong they 
are until they are in hot water.
Randy Pausch is an example of a seemingly ordinary person who rose to great heights 
when he was in the greatest trouble. He took the most negative situation and turned it into 
an opportunity to have a positive influence on the world.
Dr. Randy Pausch was a popular computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon 
University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He had won awards for his teaching, and students 
enjoyed his humor and sharp insights.
In 2006, Dr. Pausch got some terrible news - he had cancer of the pancreas and only had 
a few months to live.
While some people would be paralyzed by fear or give up in self-pity, Dr. Pausch 
decided to live his last months to the fullest. One thing he decided to do was to sign up 
for a special lecture series his university offered. The idea was for professors to share 
their life’s wisdom with students, as if it were the last lecture they would ever give.
Randy Pausch gave his lecture to a packed hall in 2007. He called it, “The Last Lecture: 
Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.” Many people called it the greatest 


performance they had ever seen.
Dr. Pausch spoke about seizing your dreams and not giving up. He offered insights into 
computer science and working in teams. He cracked his audience up again and again with 
his jokes. He even did pushups on stage!
His lecture was so inspiring that people wanted video and audio copies of it. Soon, it was 
an Internet phenomenon with a million hits in the first month, and Dr. Pausch was asked 
to write a book about his approach to life. That book, The Last Lecture, became a 
bestseller and has been translated into forty-six languages.
Randy Pausch spent the last few months of his life, in between medical treatments, 
making his own childhood dreams come true - practicing with the Pittsburgh Steelers and 
appearing in a Star Trek movie.
He also appeared on TV many times and gave several more lectures before his cancer 
killed him in 2008. To the end, his message was the same - seize the time you have, never 
give up on yourself or your dreams, and never underestimate the importance of having 
fun.
